    Eggroll and pho
    My Trang L.

    Many things happened since my last review. One was moving to the valley a few years ago and dining at Pho Le Lai on multiple occasions since it was close to us. I've noticed negative things I experienced changed. The pho is good, not homemade, but decent. :) the rice plate gotten better! Bbq pork is flavorful and juicy! The nuoc mam is very good. LOVE the egg rolls and my son loves it! I usually order 2 orders of egg rolls for him so my husband and I can have some too. Overall I'm glad we have a Vietnamese restaurant less than 3 mins away!

    Thin beef Pho w dressing on the side.

    Great food, simple but very tasty. Quantity is well portioned and delicious. Come and try it and don't be shy abt trying it all.

    Chicken pad Thai
    Karina M.

    Very cozy atmosphere, and our server was incredibly friendly & assured our meals and service were great. The pad thai is the perfect amount of spicy and sweet. The plate could feed 2 btw--I could not finish it, but it was delicious. The beef pho was great as well!

    Walking in I could already tell this place was good. The aroma was amazing... as was the food!

    Trying something different this time. Bun Bo hue/spicy beef noodle soup. Not bad, but not great either.

You walk in and either order take-out or eat in the modest seating area that can maybe seat 15-20. They have salads, sandwiches, and even a few pasta dishes as well as some specialty teas. I ordered the Southwestern salad and was pretty happy with both the portion size and quality of ingredients. I only wish the avocado was portioned more generously - I had maybe a teaspoon's worth but as I paid for my meal, I saw the Southwestern salad pictured on the wall with a few beautiful bright green slices of avocado. This is a great place to get a good selection of salads, prepared fresh. Hooray for healthy choices in the Rio Grande Valley!

But this place is surely charming and the service is excellent. We had the chicken salad croissant sandwiches and ham and cheese sandwiches too.

Also a plus was they allowed us to bring fruit and veggie for snacks and they arranged them in cute platters as well we brought a cake and other treats. They also had hats to wear to get into the tea party mood! The only thing I might say is think about party games or entertainment for any gathering. We brought cards and board games to play.

Service for our entire meal was outstanding. We were provided with our drinks and fresh hot bread sticks within a few minutes. A short time after that our waiter took our food orders and after what seemed like a couple minutes he brought us our soup or salad! He even brought us another basket of breadsticks with our soup/salad without us asking! Very, VERY GOOD SERVICE. He refilled our beverages as necessary and then our food began to arrive. I'm not a huge OG fan but the food was decent. The wife and I split an entree - The Tour of Italy with Fettuccine Alfredo, Lasagna and Chicken Parmesan. He made sure the order was portioned back in the kitchen so we didn't have to do it at the table, which was nice. Although the food at OG is always salt forward, we enjoyed our meal nonetheless. We even had leftovers which were boxed up by our server and bagged for us. All in all we had an enjoyable meal with our friends, thanks to our waiter.

They have like 4-5 locations, and each location always has a lot of parking, available seating and always looks very clean. My go-to location is the one in McAllen. Something I always appreciate is the fact that they serve your food on their to-go containers. I almost never finish my food so it is more convenient for me to get my food served in the container. So I always get their 2 cold salads and green salad combo with a side of fideo soup and a drink. My salad order is the romaine base with pineapple, seeds, cheese and shredded carrots. PLUS their cilantro dressing is OUT OF THIS WORLD. I always get extra for my salads at home lol. For their cold salads, I always stick with my Chipotle Chicken Salad. I never swap that one out because it's so good and creamy (not super spicy which I appreciate). My other favorites include their Mexican Tuna and their elbow mac and cheese. Their soups are so good and my two favorites are the Chile Poblon and the Fideo!! My go-to drink is the horchata or lemonade. Overall, SN holds a special place in my heart and will be on my rotation for every time I go to the valley!

I don't know how other people comment "there's nothing natural about this place". You can literally go in and Just order a salad (with dressing on the side) and that's about as healthy as you can get. Their sandwiches, soups, salads, drinks, and frozen yogurt are all delicious. Definitely go in and give it a try. BUT!! If you order a meal to-go double check that all the items you ordered are correct. I've been served the wrong thing several times. Sometimes their workers don't have their act together and mess up your order. Tip: politely ask them to fix it and they will. I've seen customers get angry over something so simple and the workers give them attitude. Spare the drama and you'll have a good meal and a good day.
